原文
The last day of school came and went. A triumphant "semi-annual
examination" was held and Anne's pupils acquitted themselves splendidly.
At the close they gave her an address and a writing desk. All the girls
and ladies present cried, and some of the boys had it cast up to them
later on that they cried too, although they always denied it.
